Thieye i60 Action Camera Technical Specifications

Design and finishes of the Thieye i60 Action Camera

Regarding the design and finishes of the Thieye i60 Action Camera, this is an action camera with Rugged plastic finishes that give it a perfect grip in the hand and prevents it from slipping at the same time that they give it a certain quality in its finishes. We have three models to choose from in different colors, so in addition to the gold color that we have shown you in the video, we also have models in silver and black.

As for the design, as you can see we are facing a near perfect clone of the Gro Pro Hero, saving the distances with some small difference in the front of it, in which, in its front part we only have its lens with a 1/4 ″ Sony CMOS sensor as well as the camera's on and off button that it also serves as a button to access the different video and photo modes or even enter the camera settings.

For its rear, in addition to its 1,5 ″ TFT LCD screen and a good level of brightnessWe also have an LED that will blink when the camera is recording. On the right side of the Thieye i60, if we look at it from the back of the TFT screen, we can find two buttons that are used for ZOOM or navigation between the menus and configuration options as well as the one at the top. it will serve to enable the Wifi connectivity integrated in it. Finally on this same side we find the ports MicroUSB y micro HDMI just like the Slot to insert a class 10 MicroSd memory card Up to a maximum storage capacity of 32 Gb. This card is essential to start using the Thieye i60 as it does not have internal storage memory.

Recording formats and photo quality

As for the formats and recording qualities of the Thieye i60, this is a camera capable of record 4K quality video at 25 fps, a video recording that the truth has nothing to envy compared to other cameras with a much higher retail price in which, in good lighting conditions it takes flawless videos. When the light begins to be scarce or in night recordings, the truth is that although of course it loses a lot of quality by not having an integrated LED Flash, the truth is that the results to record for example a vehicle on the road at night are more than acceptable.

As for the pictures taken with the Thieye i60, in good light conditions it will give us equally impeccable resultsAnother thing is already in poorly lit environments or at night in which there is already a lot of loss of quality in the image if we are in environments with poor lighting conditions.

As for the recording quality of the Thieye i60, the truth is that record a very, very good audio If we compare it with other cameras in its range / price range, although the greatest handicap that we can find in this Low Cost action camera, as I have explained in the video review, is that by not having any type of anchoring in the body of the camera, we will have to use it if or if with the waterproof case to be able to attach it to a selfie stick, helmet or any type of vehicle or even tripod that we want to use. I say this because, as is logical and presumably, When putting the camera in the aforementioned watertight housing, the audio quality will deteriorate so much that we will practically not be able to hear what happens in the recording made..

So that you can check what I tell you, below I leave you four unedited videos in which at different video qualities I show you how the audio recording sounds with the case on and without the waterproof case, that is, recording handheld camera without any type of attachment attached.
